Description

The perfect way to use leftover meat!


Ingredients

Scale

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1 poblano pepper, thinly sliced

Leftover roast or chicken, shredded

1 jar Roasted salsa verde

1 jar salsa, I used Pirate O’s Six Cannon Fire Roasted Salsa

1 packet taco seasoning

1 can black beans

Shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey jack

Flour tortillas

Scallions, lime wedges, jalapenos, and cilantro to garnish


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375*

Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the red onion and poblano pepper and

saute until they are tender and translucent. Add the roast, salsas, and taco seasoning

and stir until the seasoning has worked into the meat and the salsas are beginning to

simmer. Reduce heat and pour in the black beans and continue to simmer until

everything is heated through.

On a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, layer a flour tortilla, the meat mixture,

and a handful of cheese; repeat. Top with a flour tortilla and cheese.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese has melted and started to

brown on top.

To serve, top with scallions and cilantro, and jalapenos and lime wedges on the side.

Hi! I'm Leora. I am married to a fire captain (who is also the man of my dreams!), a mom to five grown kids, and a nana to five darling grandkids! I firmly believe in the importance of putting distractions away and sitting down together for family dinner, and doing so has been a tradition in our home ever since my husband and I got married 30 years ago. In fact, my children still come home often for family dinners, even though most are moved out of the house. My goal is to provide you with delicious recipes that you can share with your loved ones around the table. So, join my family for dinner, and pass your plates!
